Human beings, as intelligent beings on earth, have been inextricably linked to the natural environment around them since their birth. Among them, territorial consciousness and control over things in the domain can be said to be an inherent attribute in the depths of the human heart.
This attribute, like an undercurrent in the long river of human history, has promoted our adaptation and transformation of the environment, and shaped various forms of human society.
In primitive societies, in order to obtain food and avoid danger, human beings gradually formed a territorial consciousness based on tribes. With the development of society, this territorial consciousness has gradually evolved into more complex forms such as countries, nations, and communities.
People have a strong sense of belonging to the territory they belong to, not only as a place to live, but also as a source of culture, history and identity. It is this sense of territory that makes people willing to give everything to defend their homeland and national dignity.
From the family to the country, from the individual to the society, people want to have some control over the things that concern them. This desire for control is manifested in the possession and domination of material wealth on the one hand, and the dominance of ideas, beliefs, culture, etc., on the other hand.
Throughout history, there have been countless wars, revolutions, and conflicts, all of which have hidden the struggle for control. The various systems and rules in modern society are also designed to balance the control needs of different individuals.
When they are over-inflated, they tend to trigger conflicts and contradictions.
At the individual level, excessive sense of territory and control can lead to interpersonal tensions and even family conflicts.
At the societal level, when certain groups or individuals try to monopolize control, it can lead to social injustice and unrest.
Therefore, how to meet one's own needs while maintaining respect and fairness to others is an issue that everyone needs to face.
